Topic: In need of horror fans!

We have entered the Cinecoup Film Accelerator which has been receiving media attention from CBC and several newspapers from across the country. Our team had a brief interview published in the Barrie Advance but would appreciate an opportunity to provide more details. We have also garnered attention from 2 credited actresses, Bianca Barnett and Savannah Ostler. Ms. Barneet has an extensive resume but her largest movie to date has been “Albino Farm” currently airing on the Showcase network. Savannah is a talented singer/actress, having signed a deal with Cineplex Entertainment Inc. and is the star of the upcoming film “Blood Fare” which premiered at Dragon Con in Texas last year.

Cinecoup is like a contest where teams of three make a 2 minute concept trailer for a movie. This national contest will choose 10 projects to option for development and 1 team to receive a million dollar budget with guaranteed release nationwide in Cineplex theatres. We’re currently in the middle of the pack and gaining ground quickly. As the only team from Barrie, ON we hope you will support us by doing an interview with us or at least mentioning our project on your station.

We would be doing a thriller/horror movie titled DOLL FACE where a stalker invades the home of his obsession and turns her into a living doll, keeping her sedated with drugs. The action and the suspense build as he gets increasingly more violent at her lack of submission.

Social voting is part of the process so we need a lot of support. The Facebook page was the main source of public awareness with over 200 followers from across the globe from Australia to Uzbekistan. The link to the contest site and our trailer is listed below. We have just survived the voting into the Top 60 and the competition continues until June with several marketing and video challenges (listed under the ‘Missions’ tab) as we advance to each round.

There have been so many weird spam stuff that I'm VERY suspicious with first posts like this. Before checking around and post in other threads.Sorry if I was wrong.

I love Bianca, follow her work since her first and check out every WTF she puts out. I know she'll be in Noirland and Vengeance Wears A Skirt but haven't read anything about Red Doll on her Facebook feed. YET.

@kXnPunk - I'm not big on forum posting, new to this online marketing, I'm a writer, not a marketer...LOL, sorry if I came off as a salesman. Bianca's been pimping us on her FB page and twitter feed, sadly I think a lot of people have missed it. You can look forward to a short promo next week, she's filming it this weekend on the webcam so we're hoping that gains some attention with that. I certainly understand your apprehension.

I'm not asking for money, but the winner of the contest gets a million dollar budget, so I'm excited to garner interest from fellow horror fans.

@Azathoth - Thanks, that's what I was going for, though we're removing the "Dream-like" quality in the feature film. There's a new mission video coming out on Monday. The challenge was a scene without dialogue. Make sure to check that out, I think you'll enjoy it despite our lack of professional equipment.

I did that, thanks! Oh btw, the new mission is a vote between two movie posters. I attached one to this message. Make sure to pick your favorite when you visit. You can use the dollface link above or go there directly by clicking here. http://cinecoup.com/dollface/off-the-wall

Re: In need of horror fans!

After signing up for a Cinecoup account and having a good look round, this looks like a really interesting project. A contest that has the participants completing different missions in order to win the funding for their film, it's refreshing to see something other than Kickstarters (not knocking them at all, just nice to see something else out there).

I voted poster A, by the way. Now I'm having a look at all the other horror projects

Re: In need of horror fans!

@HorrorQueen17 - Thanks! Many of the other contestants have professional gear, some even have real actor's. The contest seems slanted in their favor but we made it to the top 60 so anything is possible I guess. I agree that it's a great idea for a contest and I hope they continue in years to come. There will be an Kickstarter component for the top 10 films.

I prefer poster A myself, but we had to put up two of them. They are both inspired by Hitchcock posters. Any guess as to which movie the posters they are based on?

And great Facefuck page, can't like on it but no worries, you know I do.Bookmarked anyways so I won't miss anything. HeheGreat You Tube page too. I suscribed, looks that You Tube is the only place that lets me do stuff normally so.
